'Supernatural' producer tackles 'JLA'

He will write various chapters of the oversized issue, with the others being provided by Marc Bernardin, Frank Mastromauro, Joe Prado and Roberto Cruz. A host of artists including Ig Guara, Scott McDaniel and Tony Shasteen will be providing interiors.

Glass told Comic Book Resources that the story will be based on a classic European folk-tale, but would not reveal which one.

"There's a big bad and all of these heroes are put in these pairings and a situation," he said. "At first, they don't know why they are together. But as the story plays out, they realize why they have been put together and realize they must defeat whatever has been put in front of them so they can eventually get out of this thing that they're in.

"It's sort of like Labyrinth, where they have to run this course and get through to the end so they can take on the big bad."

Glass is providing two chapters - one featuring a team-up between Batman and Plastic Man, the other with Green Arrow and Ragman. He has also written the framing story for the issue.

He is further working on the three-issue 'Flashpoint' tie-in series Legion of Doom.
